issues with installation on openwrt

[owen gerig]

Sorry Im sure openwrt is not your most common use case, idk if its even supported.  but i was hoping for some help if anyone had any ideas about my issue

More details are posted here: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/help-with-gitolite-package/72255

but the jist of it is when i try to make "gitolite setup" call from client, the server crashes and i have to restart the service at that point.

C:\Users\owg\OneDrive\Documents\sshkeys\for git stuff> ssh g...@192.168.1.1 "gitolite setup -pk admin.pub"
g...@192.168.1.1's password:
Connection to 192.168.1.1 closed by remote host.

OK this is super weird :-) [and nothing to do with gitolite, really, but
anyway] I think the crucial thing is the error from sshd, "fatal: Couldn't
obtain random bytes". It is often the case that small embedded systems
have difficulty seeding their cryptographically secure random number
generators because they don't have enough nondeterministic hardware.
That's approximately everything I know about randomness and OpenWrt, but a
bit of searchengineering led me to this link which might help you.
